Abstract excerpt
To investigate the genomic characterization of hepatitis C virus (HCV) isolated from patient who contracted hepatitis during an epidemic of non-A, non-B (NANB) hepatitis in Shimizu city, Japan, we have cloned the nucleotide sequence of the viral genome (HCV-KF) spanning the structural domain. When compared to other previously reported HCV isolates, HCV-KF showed an overall identity at the amino acid level of 90.0...
